The early Islamic Middle East was governed by a series of dynastic powers called "Caliphates". Each caliphate was eventually run out by a new power. My primary interest in the caliphates are the Umayyads and the 'Abbasids. Especially the latter, this was considered the "Glory of the Middle East".

Semester Break
Well, we have been on break since mid-February and I am starting to get a bit restless. Over the past couple of days, I have slowly gotten back into the research mode. I have found a few articles that I intend to read over the next week or so and have purchased a couple of books that I have had perpetually checked out from the USF library since November. I have two more that I for sure will be purchasing next month. Check back soon for some "words of wisdom" from me about my readings.
